- Engetsu is a man with a personality that fits him into the category of an anti-hero. He lacks the use of morals carried out by society and follows his own code, despite his ironic wish for redemption and self-forgiveness for his past deeds. As such, he is the type of person who believes that duty is more important and significant than a person's life, a mindset that has garnered him dislike by his comrades. What is even more ironic is the fact that Engetsu believed life to be more precious early in his life, courtesy of his traumatic experience and his phobia of death. Engetsu was horrified of dying or seeing others die. However, the ways of Jashin had granted him immortality as well as a new mindset that life is insignificant, a mindset he had continued to uphold even after his departure

| - Engetsu is a man with a personality that fits him into the category of an anti-hero. He lacks the use of morals carried out by society and follows his own code, despite his ironic wish for redemption and self-forgiveness for his past deeds. As such, he is the type of person who believes that duty is more important and significant than a person's life, a mindset that has garnered him dislike by his comrades. What is even more ironic is the fact that Engetsu believed life to be more precious early in his life, courtesy of his traumatic experience and his phobia of death. Engetsu was horrified of dying or seeing others die. However, the ways of Jashin had granted him immortality as well as a new mindset that life is insignificant, a mindset he had continued to uphold even after his departure from the religion. This essentially means that Engetsu no longer fears death and sees others who die to have been a waste of life, due to his own incapability of dying as well as the propaganda he seems to have attained from the religion. Despite this grim and apathetic outlook on life, Engetsu is a man who bears honor and dignity, showing respect to both his opponents and allies alike. He bears a belief that everyone, no matter their political position, fame or stature, are equal and should be treated equally. Anyone who belittles the other, or heralds anyone else as a god or superior is "far beyond pathetic" in Engetsu's perspective, and as such, he views servants and political leaders with pity, as he feels that they damage the world by making themselves feel inferior or superior to others. Stemming from that mindset, he treats others the exact same way in which they treat him, despite their alignment. If one hates him, then the hatred will be mutual in Engetsu's eyes. Infact, Engetsu is a person who strongly believes in the term "an eye for an eye", and will do the same with people who harm him, his friends and others whom he loves. One of the more notable examples was when he brutally murdered everyone who was involved in his parent's death. Engetsu has also been shown to possess a laid-back disposition, as no scenario has ever faltered the smile he dons every single day, no matter the gravity. Although some have misconcepted it to be apathy towards others, Engetsu always understands the situation at hand, but only solves it with blooming positivity and the smallest doubt and worry. This is possibly derived from his philosophical viewpoint that good always thriumphs over evil and light always conquers the darkness. He deals with problems slowly, confident that a solution is going to surface in due time. This disposition makes him a difficult person to depend on, as he might arrive late to meetings, claiming that he has "all the time in the world". Members of the Shadow Guardians have commented on multiple occassions that he is too laid-back. Engetsu is also a naïve and over-optimistic person, as he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, no matter their reputation. This naïvety also contributes to his laid-back disposition, as he trusts the world around him too much, believing that things will often put themselves back into place or that the good people will reign thriumphant no matter the case. This disposition does not even falter when he takes matters into his own hands, deeming it "simple destiny" to do so. Countless times the man has been tricked by his opponents, friends, con artists and women who steal all his money. In an ironic twist, Engetsu also does the same to them, tricking them to the same end-result through his belief of doing to the person the same thing they have done to him. He does all of this without his smile ever faltering. In his optimism and naïvety lies a deeper personality. Engetsu, in all truth, is not as naïve as others assume him to be. In fact, Engetsu usually knows when he is about to be tricked, but he still falls for it in his quest to learn more about human beings and their actions. He views it as his duty to trust in others, with the exception of the obvious tricks in battle that can prove fatal and risky. In that sense, Engetsu is an individual who attempts to trust everyone as he too would like that trust to be reflected to him, bearing in mind his own rule to do to others what he would like others to do to him. This also applies when the others betray or value that trust, as he will do the same with theirs. Engetsu even takes it upon himself to get revenge on others who have betrayed his trust, even spending months living a lie just to get back at them. If he does not get his revenge, he notes that he will not have any closure. That statement has confirmed the thoughts of the other guardians that his thirst for revenge is a psychological problems. His trust issues, or his lack of them to be precise, has caused problem for both him and the guardians, and to that extent, he does not partake in infiltration mission, as he is utterly incapable of telling a lie. Perhaps one of Engetsu's most notable quirks is his random use of profanity. He is quite fond of using vulgar language, and he does so in the most inappropriate of situations, much to the displeasure of others, especially Heiwa, who is naturally against use of profanity. He can say the dirtiest of words in the most random of occassions, usually out of the blue. This made him garner even more dislike from his fellow teammates for his suppossedly lack of ettiquette. He is usually ignorant of these comments, and would continue randomly using profanity in conversations. Even the other guardians had claimed to have given up on Engetsu's inappropriate social behaviour, with some even accepting and growing accustomed to it, and overtime, it became their own personal running gag and their way of making more memories during their duties. His profanity is always accompanied by comic sarcasm to lighten the mood of his comrads, often leading to somewhat lengthy conversations among the others during long journeys to make the trip more enjoyable. Gradually, his random insults were seen as some form of charm for Engetsu, often invoking humor at the most dangerous and dire situations. On occassion, this use of random profanity has even helped them formulate a tactic to get them out of even the most dangerous scenarios. What makes his use of profanity so comically inviting is the fact that his words usually co-relate to the current situations or even contrast what currently occurs around him. It has become the insignia in which the others can remember him by, a personal trait that provides him and others with comic relief when they reminisce over their journeys and adventures.
